U-Boot would hang during startup with that patch. I don't know what
went wrong, and didn't really have time to debug it.

Looking at it again, this may have been caused by old versions of
binutils and gcc. I followed the instructions at
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Toolchains, and I see now that they are
quite old.

I used qemu 0.91, and compiled & ran U-Boot with the following commands:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/mips/bin"
export CROSS_COMPILE=mips-unknown-linux-gnu-
cd ~/u-boot.mips
make clean
git clean -d -x -f
make qemu_mips_config
make
ln -s ./u-boot.bin mips_bios.bin
qemu-system-mips -tftp /tftpboot  -L . /dev/null -nographic
